Baseball Shirt

Welcome to Glenda's Cards!

I purchased a Cricut Easy Press several months ago (actually last November) and finally decided to try it out! I do not work with vinyl that much, but now I may try it more often! 

 

Cricut Cartridge:

Life Is A Party  -- Baseball

Cricut Font: Varsity Letter Narrow. Using the curve feature in Cricut Design Space, I positioned the letters in BASEBALL for the curve.

I used Cricut Iron On Vinyl in red and white. 

I am happy the way the design turned out and my daughter likes the shirt. That is all that matters, huh??

 

Hope you enjoy! Thanks for your visits and comments!

My Sheri Crafts - Ch. 187 The Olympics Are Coming

Welcome to Glenda's Cards!

Today begins a new and fun challenge at My Sheri Crafts! For Ch. 187 The Olympics Are Coming, our design team sister Sarah asked us to create a card or project with a sports theme. My grandson has an upcoming birthday and he loves playing baseball. Now I have his card made!

Card measures 5" x 5" cut from the lighter blue shade paper. I chose to use a red, white, and blue color theme. 

The image is from Cuttable Designs. It was one of the free images awhile back! Thank you Cuttable Designs for the images! I cut the design using my Cricut at 4.75" x 4.75" and layered it on the white paper. This will be a great image to use on a T-Shirt too!

Cricut Cartridges used for the inside of the card

Using Insert Shape in Cricut Design Space, I cut the dark blue paper at 4.5" x 4".

Cricut Craft Room Basics - Happy Birthday.

Baseball - All Star is cut 4.1" w x 1.13" h.

Life's A Party - Baseball is cut 1.25".

Baseball Card for the Birthday Boy

Welcome to Glenda's Cards!

My grandsons love to play baseball. My thoughts turned to making a baseball card for a grandson who is having a birthday. We were so proud of him and his team this season. During the regional tournament, he scored his first home run. What a happy guy and parents! He ended the tournaments making two more home runs with one being in the state championship tournament. The card measures 5" x 6 1/2" and is cut from red Recollections cardstock. Star patterned paper is from a Recollections Play Ball page kit.


Cricut Cartridges: I have been enjoying a month subscription to images in Cricut Design Space. I do not own Baseball but it may be added to my list!
Baseball - Batter is cut 3" wide x 4.99" high. I reversed the image for a left handed batter. Home Run is cut 5.50" wide.

Life is a Party - Baseball is cut 1.07" wide x 1.06" high.

Inside of card.

For Inside:

Cricut Font & Basic Shapes - Happy Birthday is cut 4.50" wide.

Baseball - All Star is cut 4.50" wide. 

For the phrase "Baseball is Life", I added the swoosh by slicing it from another image in the Baseball cartridge and then welding it to the word Baseball using Cricut Design Space features. Then using the text box, I added "is Life" with the Plantin Schoolbook font. Yes, there is a similar phrase in the Cricut Sports Mania cartridge, but I did not have access to that particular cartridge. So I just tried to make the phrase. I thought it turned out ok!

Hope you enjoy! Thanks for your visits and comments!

Red, White, and Blue

Welcome to Glenda's Cards!

I have been playing with red, white, and blue papers again! The card is white cardstock and measures 5" x 6 1/2". It is layered with red paper and then a pretty Paper Studio patterned paper. The patterned paper was left from my previous patriotic card.

Cricut Cartridges:

Independence Day - Bicycle is cut 3.75" wide from the red, white, and blue papers.

Stand and Salute - Banner Frame with scallop edge is cut 4.25" high. This cut did not have any layers so I hand cut the white for the background and added a strip of red paper under the star cut outs.

Life's A Party - Celebrate is cut 3.75" wide.

Cuttlebug folder is Stars...used on the white mat.

Edges of papers are frayed and inked. A red/white button from my stash added the finishing touch by running some Sew Easy fancy floss through it and making a bow.

Challenges:

FCCB - Ch.254 Anything Goes

Tuesday Morning Sketches - Ch. 306 Sketch --this is my play on the sketch!

Hope you enjoy this card! Thanks for your visits and comments!

My Sheri Crafts - Ch. 112

Welcome to Glenda's Cards!

It is Saturday and time for another fun challenge at My Sheri Crafts. Ch. 112 is Summer Solstice- Longest Day. Our talented Sue asked us to make a card or project with a summer evening in mind. It could be a sunset or a view from your porch. My grandsons love baseball and in the evenings they can be found on the baseball field-either practice or playing in a game. Since I needed a birthday card for one grandson, I chose a fun shape baseball card. Cricut cartridge is Life's A Party. The card feature and phrase is on page 37. I did not record the sizes. Looking at the image in the Cricut handbook, you will see that the card is not a circle. I trimmed the area at the top of the card to make it a circle yet leaving the connected area intact. Papers are from the scrap stash! A simple card but my grandson liked it or maybe it was the money he found inside!!

Be sure to visit My Sheri Crafts to see the inspiring projects by our talented design team and guest designer. For more information on the projects, please visit the individual blogs. Don't forget to leave us a little love!

Now it is your turn to play along with us. Remember one person will be chosen to be our next guest designer and several Ooh la la awards will be given. We look forward to seeing your projects. 

I am sharing photos of my grandsons in action at the ball field!

Shaped Valentine card

Welcome to Glenda's Cards! Thanks for stopping by today!

Happy Valentine's Day! Today I am sharing a Valentine card made using a card feature from a Cricut cartridge. I like the pretty shape of the card and the overlay cut with the heart opening.

Cricut Cartridges:

Life's a Party - Page 62  Card feature and the mat are cut at 5" using the Cricut Craft Room. I was so surprised to see this pretty card on this cartridge! I need to take a closer look at some of my cartridges!

For some reason, I was unable to hide the little fold lines on the card. However, the lines are only slightly noticeable after the mat was glued on.

Flower Shoppe - Flower -Second image on 4th row cut 1.75" and again at 1.50". First image on 1st row cut 1.75".

Home Decor - I sized the word "Love" to fit inside the heart and did not record the actual size.

I used Martha Stewart inking around the edges. Tiny Recollections pearls were placed around the heart opening.

White Colorbok cardstock was used for the card base. Designer Paper is K&Company Kelly Panacci Valentine. I love this paper and have been using a lot from this pad. Guess who bought another pad of this same paper this weekend!! I will hoard it for awhile!!

Flaunt It Fridays #22 - Wrap It Up

Hello Bloggers and Hello Friday! It is time again for another fun challenge at Flaunt It Fridays! For this week's challenge we are using Cricut Wrap It Up cartridge and are flaunting the castle on page 24. I do not have that cartridge, but I found a cute castle on  page 22 on Life's A Party cartridge. The handbook shows the castle in red and purple---now is that my sign! I always need cards for friends in the Red Hat Society and we love being queens! I cut the castle using the card feature at 10 inches. This results in a large card with the finished size being 4 1/2 x 10 at the highest point. Every queen wants a large castle!!

Royal wishes which is found on page 56 on Birthday Bash is cut at 2 1/2 inches.

Cuttlebug folders: Moroccan Screen - door, Swiss dots on the red tower pieces.

I randomly placed the punched crowns. These cuts were given to me by a friend. To add bling, I added lots of Recollection gemstones. Inside the card, I used the phrase Happy Birthday from Birthday Bash cut at 4 inches.

Now it is your turn to flaunt the castle. If you do not have the cartridge, you may use a similar cut from another cartridge. For great inspiration from the talented members of the design team, please visit their blog listed on Flaunt It Fridays home page.
